FISHING REEL.

Application filed April 22,1325; Serial No. `25,(385.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JiciioLLs J Satira,

a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Bainbridge, in the county ot' Decatur, State of Georgia, have invented certain new` and usetul Improvements in Fishing Reels; and I do hereb)v declare the following to be a 'l'iili, cleaiggand exact description of the in-V vention, such as will enable others skilled in the ait to which 1t vappertains, to make larly to line guides therefor.

One object ofthe invention is to provide a line guide which will traverse tliepropellingscrew shaft without danger of' sticking.

Another object is to provide a line guide, and ways therefor, whereby to permit elfieieiit lubrication to the parts, and the easy j niovei'nciit thereof.'

Another object is to provide a line guide and the slide ways therefor,-wherein the application of lubricant is renderedeasy, tor the purpose of securing :inadequate supply for the moving parts.

Other objects and advantages will be. apparent troni the following description when taken. in connection with the accompanying drawing. v i

In t-lie drawing:

Figure 1 is an elevation of a fishing` reel 'embodying the improved liie guide and ways therefor.

Figure 2 is a vertical transverse sectional viewv on the line 2-f-2 of Figure 1, enlarged.

Figure 3 is'anfl enlarged loniritudin-.il Vseetional view tlirougliithe upper jioi'tioiiof the guide and the-'way thereof.A f I Figure 4 is an enlarged longitudinal scc' tional view through the lower portion olf the guide and the -vvajftliereo ing drawing, l0 and 11 represent the end disk members of the traine of the reel.' which are heldl in proper spaced relation by therods 12. The reel' or line -diiiin 13, is mounted in the usual manner and operable by tlieliandle 14'.-

Properl 'journaled at itsends in the end disks 10 and-11, is'tlie screw shaft 15, .longitudinally of which the lineguide block 1G-` is arranged to slide. said block havingr a' pi'njl'i' engaging: in theg'rooves ot the sha tt. as elearljvv seen 'inthe sectional vie\\-',-l"'igiiie Referring particularly to the accompany 2. Formed in the enddisks 10 andV 11', at opposite sides of thecnds of the screw shaft l5, are small openingsS, and seatodin these openings are the ends of the small rods 19". Secured 'to each of .these rods 1-9 is' the' longer side portion of a semi-tubular chan nel 20, which extendsbetlweeii the, end disks l() and 11, said channels having their open sides ldirected outwardly away trom the .line drinn 13. Thesel channel members aire properly,v secured to a plate 9.1, in spaced parallel relation, said A plate having one'of its lonfrer edgeport-ions curved in the direction or the adjacent channel member.

Fixed on one en d of the guide block 16,-

andexteiiding from saidenthat right angles thereto, i's-'a plate or flange 22, and secured to the outer end of this i'lai'ige, and extend-'V ing atright angles thereto, is a'siiiall tubular bar :23, sai-d bar having one end 1n `alineniei-it with one sideA of the flange, and its other end projectingz'v beyond. the other side,4

said project-ing end having alminute open-` ing 9A. .in its lower side. This tubular bar 23 is arranged to slide within the channel member 9.0 adjacent the-curved side of the plate 21. Removablv secured to the other end of the block 16, by means of the screw is a plate ,or flange 26, which also has a small tabular rod Q-secnred thereto, in' thev yattempt. to move the guide block 16 outward radially` of the reel, thusinsuriiig the` properrespect to the-screw shaft and the channel members 20. v

' Through the opening;r 24". of the tubular .when said member is within` its channel 9.0, this opening lies vvagainst the lowenwall of the channel, the oil flowing at the proper rate, from this opening, into'th'e channel,

rPhe other tubular Yrod 9.7 is adapted trfbe the adjacent end of the scren'sliait 15, there are formed thel openings '28. through whichv the adlacent ends of the bars 23. and 27 are arranged to ln'otrude as the `u ide block 4 1G reaches that end of the screw shalt. It

`will also be noted that the Aadjacent ends of the 'channels 20 are disposed inregistry with said openings 28, nlierebbvto permit the proper passage of the ends of the bars 23 and 2T through' .the openings QS. manner in Whlch the bars'l and 2T operate in the-channels QQ'etl'ectively maintain'the guide block against' lateral nioven'ient, or rotary movement, Vwith respect to the screw shaft 15.

What is claimed isi 1n The combination u'iththe end d'islis of a fishing reel', and the screw shaft thereof. of a'li'ne guide movable by said-shaft, :md a support for the guide including ways Supported by the end disks, and lubricant car rying means on the block within the ways. 2; The conibination with the end" disks and screw shaft of a fishing reel, said endy disks havingropeninls therein,v oi a line guide block engaged with the shattfor dri'vingcrv movement by the latter, slideways between the end disks', and bars on the guide. block movable in said slideways and through said openings.` j 3; The combination with the end disks and screw shatof a fishingreeLgofa line'.
